| Abstract: | Optical loss through fibre optics cables is the main quality indicator of the product. To maintain the required quality standards at TKF, it is important to closely monitor the process and try to eliminate any causes for variation in the optical loss. This has been done indirectly by making use of statistical measures, as well as directly by finding causes for the variation and high optical loss. Causes and improvements were searched for on the production level as well as at the measuring station. The variability in the measured cables was about 29 per cent attributed to the measuring station and about 71 per cent to the difference in products. Additionally, introducing statistical measures to warn the staff before a cable gets rejected could significantly improve the process’s ability to run within its specification limits. |
